They Bought Me What?
11:30 am - 12:20 pm CT
Room: B10
More and more districts are investing in interactive flat panels for their classrooms, moving away from projectors and outdated “Smart” boards. These devices are not exactly inexpensive and are not designed for just front of the classroom use by the teacher. This session will NOT be device or brand specific, rather it will focus on how to ensure that students are up and utilizing the device as much as, if not more than, the teacher.
We will look at various ways in this session to have students up and moving in the classroom and interacting with the flat panel. (No, we will not be throwing stuff at the panel!)
